Not sure how useful this is i googled social mobility and this is what came up, seems like a simple 1st step.
(i also think we should write our names with what we post for organizational purposes)
some basic descriptive statistics:
college enrollment by decade (in thousands):
1960s:
Avg:2,241
S:453
1970s:
Avg:3,039
S:141
1980s:
Avg:2,844
S:228
1990s:
Avg:2,563
S:217
2000s:
Avg:2,794
S:174
Not sure how we can work this in, I'm pretty sure we can all agree more education leads to more chances for mobility, mostly did this so that I could get used to the programs though.

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
Some pretty legit data sets:

Here's a pretty good breakdown of how social mobility has declined in the past few decades:

Not sure if this well end up helping, but it's something in the mean time:
